Plato Elementary School Reviews

We have had our issues but overall it hasnt been bad. The biggest problem is some teachers still lack education in special needs and some just refuse to do anything extra. Be prepared to change principals often(2 yrs if the longest one has stayed so far) . Obviously changing principals means the environment at the school changes often as well.
